November 2012 Newsletter for the NPES Community!
We are here for YOU!
Some projects/lessons we have been working on:
*Small group animal research with Mrs. Derrick's class
*Computer Lab and iPad exploration (Wordle, Voki, Fotobabble) with Mrs. Frye's class
*Global Read Aloud with Mrs. Watkins' class
*SMART Response System use with several teachers
*Fiction/Non-Fiction lessons with 1st grade classes
*Inventor research using print and non-print resources with 5th grade classes
*"Book Taste" lesson with Mrs. Weeks' 5th grade classes
Some ways teachers are using the Learning Commons:
*Mrs. Kinard has used it for students who need to record a video in a quiet place
*Mrs. Ancone's 1st graders come in everyday to read books on Tumblebooks
*Mrs. Shull's 4th graders come to type documents on the computers
Some ideas!
*Use the Learning Commons as a "center" or station...send students in for Tumblebooks or post a question/poll on Edmodo and have them come to the Learning Commons to answer that question.
*Exchange books!
If you are interested in ANY of this (or you have other ideas), let us know!
Thank you for all you do!
